I started designing shirts as a ten year-old boy to make shirts I couldn’t afford. My family couldn’t tell the difference of both.
We would like to thank you for supporting Billy Ehrin in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it truly comes from my heart , my mind ; in a very deep way —more so than most designers / companies . I won’t create if my heart isn’t in it. I have huge plans once the wheels start turning. This isn’t about me. It’s about the fans of fashion and art and sports. It’s going to be an epic new line if it gets its legs .
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is for a young or old person to feel good about themselves looking in the mirror with something I created. I have so many ideas within my blueprint that I would have to have an initial big launch in my hometown of Pittsburgh. I’m not the first to do it, but that’s my vision.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would try to launch my own brand. I tried before on the so-called free to create sites, but it was a fruitless experience. Hopefully, this would be my launchpad. A dream? Maybe, but Dreaming goes hand in hand with the hustle. This is the genesis . Once I lay the foundation, the possibilities are limitless because of the ideas I have for this brand.
